*THIS IS NOT AN ESCORTED GROUP TOUR*
Kick off your vacation in the colorful, modern and cultural Copenhagen, capital of the Kingdom of Denmark. Upon your arrival, a friendly driver will meet you and your party at the airport and transport you to the hotel in complete comfort and style. After your hotel check in (and some much needed rest, perhaps), explore your surroundings and start discovering Copenhagen. On your second day, you will join an expert local guide who will introduce you to some of the famous landmarks in the city. The following day takes you on a daytrip which will introduce you to Royal Denmark, with a visit to several majestic castles in North Zealand: Kronborg Castle, a castle made famous as the setting of Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’, Fredensborg Palace, residence of the Danish royal family, and the ancient Frederiksborg Castle.
Leave Copenhagen, eastbound, on a truly scenic, lovely train ride to the seaport town of Esbjerg. The town is renowned for its art and Danish charm and you will have plenty of time to experience it all. The following day, take a short train ride to Ribe, where you will spend a full day. The town has been voted “Europe’s Best Big-Time Small Destination 2014”! Ribe is Denmark’s oldest town, home to a fascinating Viking museum and a well-preserved medieval center. Climb to the top of the town’s beautiful cathedral tower for lovely views of the region.
On your way back west, before arriving in Copenhagen, stop in Odense – Hans Christian Andersen’s home – for a day of Sightseeing in the ”capital” of Funen. Odense is full of charming high streets, lots of museums and activities, lovely green parks and much more. Spend the night there and return to Copenhagen the following day.
